Amsterdam, short report & harvest
In Amsterdam we danced a "Full Underscore Practice" with the GUS 2018
in confluence with the weekly Saturday Amsterdam Jam as a "Modified Jam".*
[*In the report of our GUS-harvest of 2017 you can read more about the Amsterdam set-up.
A longer report like that, including a more complete/specified sharing of the 2018 harvest,
may follow also for this year as I find this a possibly valuable given for our community. KL]

+Plus a few dancers whose name we might have missed, and/or who want to go unmentioned.
Dancers mentioned only by their first name either indicated preference for this mention,
or didn't write their name on the list. (Probably because I forgot to remind them of this. Sorry.)
Excerpt of some notes of the sharing,
as written down by Lana Korotkova:
- interested in a person, and in not being
stuck in one dance
- causelessness
- opportunity for an elongated arrival and a
different depth
- noises outside intertwine with dances
- the focus was very deep
- Slow down. Take time. Graze.
- You don't have to dance with one person.
- disconnected connected - different phases
for each one of us - but we're all in it
- The Underscore is a container.
- connecting all over the world
- sameness but differentness
- growing together
- witnessing different waves
- space for solos
- The Underscore gives me the right to be in a phase for
as long as I like.
- feeling free to graze, it's a relief
- feeling free and comfortable
- much more 3-4-5 people dancing than usual
- we hold the space together
- respect and sacredness
- importance of framing
- Having a common mindset
This Underscore in Amsterdam was organised in cooperation with the Amsterdam Jam
and facilitated by: Lana Korotkova, Thalia Laric, Kees Lemmens
Many thanks to every one involved; everyone organising, everyone dancing in the GUS

I find myself unable to process and dance with my joy because today, with these friends, the joy is too deep and too sudden. I am spending time with myself after every dance to bask in the heat of it.
How hard it is to separate your awareness from those that are an extension of your physical being. Where do I end and where does my son begin? Where does stand my wife? No dance is small no more...
familiar sounds of two separate worlds suddenly merging in one
This si our Harvest from MonteCIto/ Cordoba / Argentina
In winter weather
We are a group of people interested in knowing, practicing and reflecting on the Underscore.
We managed to create a space of intimacy and dance. In the light of the sun's rays coming through the window, on one of the shortest days of the year. Enjoying the hug of knowing you dancing around the house planet!!!

23 June 11pm-3am 24 June / as modified jam score
at night park( clay soil and grass) after rain. we all worn the raincoat &rain pants, few parsons took off those soon. (all photos were darkness always, yes! midnight outside !!!)
opening stand / facing Buffalo, NY , closing stand/ facing Warszawa, Poland
harvest
Tetsurou : I got on a swing when I was one during the GUS. I was not good at swings when I was a child. I did not like the feeling of grabbing the heart when swinging in front of the swing. But at this time I was not uncomfortable, okay. So i swung higher to higher to sky naturally,,, and naturally come back lower lower ,,,. ( just comment: it was one dance. everyone without Tetsuro was a symbol of the observe then. everyone touched that beautiful one dance of him. )
When the sound of the instrument echoed in the darkness of the night, there was a soft film ahead of it, and I felt that the whole venue itself was enveloped.
A person of a dream. Sensation spreading out of my chest. lost of sense of time. Connected at the moment of my life .
When I was a young I spent the night in the park with my friends, and thought, "i wander what meant for this ?" But this time I can say that "So good in this. that was good there." . It is wonderful thing overlaying the old.
Reiko : The night park was changed a special place when chime is sounded on the drops of night grasses. I was really warm without cold during GUS.
Yasukichi : 丸み roundness ＝地球のスキネスフィア skinesphere of the earth , like the 大気。大気の様な。

Ayaka : GUS reminded me that we were naturally creative, resourceful and whole.I had freedom to do what I wanted to. There's no word but dialogue through the contact of body, kinesphere, and other objects.Encounters of what I unexpected. We were all fulfilled.

Sharing
Daniel’s
observations: We must be comfortable with one’s self in order to engage with
others. The group is more comfortable with des-control, than the year before. The
bass improvisation was a highlight moment. The need to practice more streaming.
Catarina’s
observations: Bone structure to start movement. Activations vs Momentum.
Ensemble of bodies and engagements. Music production with objects. We all
disconnected and recycle through the underscore once at the same time.

to make a physical action during meditation?” drawing.
Fredin: “Friendship in movement” drawing
Raúl: “Una voz me dijo que la vida estaba llena de
experiencias, yo le conteste que había experiencias buenas y malas, que uno no
sabía cuál le puede tocar. Por lo cual me dijo, las experiencias no tienen
distinción, se te presentan y duda lo más profundo de tu ser, tú decides que
postura tomar”
Martha: “Feelings”
